About the Book

El thriller literario del año.

No devorarás este libro: este libro te devorará a ti.

En 1985, durante una terrible tormenta, Kurtz Schaltzmann, Markus Baumgartner y su hermana Evi son brutalmente asesinados en el Bletterbach, un enorme cañón tirolés cuyos fósiles cuentan la historia del mundo.

Treinta años más tarde, Jeremiah Salinger, un documentalista estadounidense recientemente instalado en una aldea de la zona junto a su mujer Annelise y su hija pequeña, se obsesiona con ese caso nunca resuelto. Todos a su alrededor, desde su suegro Werner, exdirector del Socorro Alpino y uno de los hombres que descubrieron los cuerpos mutilados, hasta la propia Annelise, son sospechosos de alguna manera y nadie desea remover el pasado. Sin embargo, es como si aquel sangriento acontecimiento arrastrara una maldición y en el Bletterbach hubiese despertado algo espantoso, tan antiguo como lamisma tierra, que se creía desaparecido.

¿Podrá Salinger descubrir la verdad y sobrevivir a ella?

Reseñas:
«El thriller italiano que todo el mundo quiere publicar.»
Il Post

«Con la fuerza de una avalancha como las de las montañas del Tirol, el thriller de debut de este joven escritor italiano ha barrido como una tormenta el mundo de la edición. Los editores se pasan la vida a la caza de contadores de historias; la aparición de un verdadero escritor con un genio para la narrativa es todo un motivo de celebración: su historia es tan magnífica como sus montañas.»
Christopher MacLehose (MacLehose Press)

«Puede compararse a D'Andrea con Stephen King y con Jo Nesbø sin miedo a exagerar.»
La Repubblica

«Si en el campo del thriller es difícil ser original, Luca D'Andrea ha logrado escalar, hacha de hielo en mano, la pared rocosa de la ficción internacional de suspense.»
Luca Crovi, Il Giornale

«Un verdadero maestro que consigue combinar con habilidad paisaje, tradiciones y una historia asombrosa.»
La Stampa

«La naturaleza es aquí la verdadera estrella, amenazadora, indomable. Una montaña que no perdona, un horror en las alturas.»
Il Corriere della Sera

«Una trama tan rápida e inesperada que los ecos y las comparaciones con Jo Nesbø y Joël Dicker son inevitables.»
Südtiroler Schriftsteller

«D'Andrea ha construido una trama de ritmo trepidante, sin descanso, y despliega con habilidad pistas, sospechas y giros hasta la última página.»
Fabrizio D'Esposito, Il Fatto Quotidiano

«Leerlo es como un electroshock. Un thriller único: todo lo inquietante, fascinante y poderoso que un libro puede llegar a ser.»
Béatrice Duval (Denoël)

«La sustancia del mal es una verdadera experiencia para el lector. En el espacio cerrado de un valle alpino el autor crea un mecanismo perfecto de suspense claustrofóbico que, a veces, linda con el miedo irracional. El miedo blanco.»
Sander Knol (Xander)

«Una novela que atrapa de manera incansable, que sorprende al lector y le ofrece el placer intenso de leer a un escritor que sabe hechizar con su narrativa.»
Jonathan Burnham (HarperCollins, USA)

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Luca D'Andrea's atmospheric and brilliant thriller, set in a small mountain community in the majestic Italian Dolomites, an outsider must uncover the truth about a triple murder that has gone unsolved for thirty years.

New York City native Jeremiah Salinger is one half of a hot-shot documentary-making team. He and his partner, Mike, made a reality show about roadies that skyrocketed them to fame. But now Salinger's left that all behind, to move with his wife, Annelise, and young daughter, Clara, to the remote part of Italy where Annelise grew up--the Alto Adige.

Nestled in the Dolomites, this breathtaking, rural region that was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire remains more Austro than Italian. Locals speak a strange, ancient dialect--Ladino--and root for Germany (against Italy) in the world cup. Annelise's small town--Siebenhoch--is close-knit to say the least and does not take kindly to out-of-towners. When Salinger decides to make a documentary about the mountain rescue group, the mission goes horribly awry, leaving him the only survivor. He blames himself, and so--it seems--does everyone else in Siebenhoch. Spiraling into a deep depression, he begins having terrible, recurrent nightmares. Only his little girl Clara can put a smile on his face.

But when he takes Clara to the Bletterbach Gorge--a canyon rich in fossil remains--he accidentally overhears a conversation that gives his life renewed focus. In 1985, three students were murdered there, their bodies savaged, limbs severed and strewn by a killer who was never found. Although Salinger knows this is a tightlipped community, one where he is definitely persona non grata, he becomes obsessed with solving this mystery and is convinced it is all that can keep him sane. And as Salinger unearths the long kept secrets of this small town, one by one, the terrifying truth is eventually revealed about the horrifying crime that marked an entire village. Completely engrossing and deeply atmospheric, Beneath The Mountain is a thriller par excellence.

"Can be compared (with no fear of hyperbole) to Stephen King and Jo Nesbø."--La Repubblica""
